Attendance boundary and supplementary dormitory
In addition to sections of Flagstaff, the school serves sections of the Navajo Reservation: Birdsprings, Leupp, and Tolani Lake.[4][5][6]
It also includes Bellemont, Fort Valley, Kachina Village, Mormon Lake, Mountainaire, Munds Park, and Oak Creek Canyon, as well as portions of Blue Ridge.[7][8]
There is a tribally-controlled dormitory facility contracting with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE),[9] Flagstaff Bordertown Dormitory, which houses Native American students who attend Flagstaff High.[10]
Prior to the establishment of Sedona-Oak Creek Unified School District, Flagstaff High directly included Sedona in its attendance boundary, and took students from the Red Rock school district, which did not operate any schools.[11]
